The best "imaging" speakers?


Which speakers gave you the most "you are there" experience?

Triangles are the best imaging speaks I've heard in a conventional box design. I've heard them totally disappear in systems where no other speakers did.

Magicos were impressive also in this regard when I heard them but they are PRICEY.

Omnis like OHMs or MBL can be very good also, but their imaging is totally different from conventional box designs IMHO. Some will take to it and be hooked and never go back....some just won't get it.
Dunlavy speakers WERE the hands-down favorite, but unfortuately they are no longer being made. Dunlavy speakers are true point source, phase correct, sealed enclosure speakers, huge in size. Correctly placed, amplified, spiked and in a large enough room; the SC-4 through 6's still compete for top honors no matter what the cost. As used speakers (if properly set up), I believe they represent one of the greatest (used) bargains of all time. To set a benchmark is to listen to these speakers at least once along the way.
My friends Evolution Acoustics MM2's are the finest speakers I've ever experienced. Breathtaking transparency that make speakers disappear, total coherency, reach out and touch midrange, real bass, pristine highs and wide open soundstage with great stage width and layers of depth.
Vandersteens blow away the Dunlavy, get that huge baffle out of the way and you will see what I mean.
I agree with Jax2, the best imaging or better said "holografic" sound I have ever heard came from the MBL 101 ...
